Now that we can no longer drive out at the good surf spots down here, this is a nice alternative! Thx, Andy M at Wind-NC for coming up with this gig!
new blog post up featuring the hiker! as well as some action pics from yesterday at Ego.

PS: blowing like s#$@ down here right now and wrap surf hitting Ego Beach!! Oh yea, did I mention the water temp is 75 degrees! Forecast is to hold all weekend with building wrap surf too!! Who's coming down!?!

ya very cool.....I remember this vid of these guys in Cali walking like a mile upwind to some mysto break with the boards all vertical and backpack like....but it looked painful. I like the Hatteras hiker better

I have been working the bike trailer and getting the flat bottom skiff all ready_________________I'm confused lately:

Here's my solution to hiking in boards and gear. Its a "Fish-n-Mate" converted to a "Surf-n-Mate". You can pull by hand or even behind a bicycle if you want. Carries multiple boards, sails, masts, and plenty of space below for harness, water or even a small icebox.

Wheels, cross tube board support assembly, and long pull handle quickly attach and detach thank to quick pins etc. for transport. I am currently ordering a set of those "Wheelez" soft sand wheels to make it easier to pull through deep sand too.
